It is not true that the Great Wall of China is the only man-made structure that can be viewed from space - many man-made objects, including the Dutch polders, can be viewed from space.

Local News: Why is Corsicana Losing Out to Other Cities?
|
|
rrandyghughes writes "A few months ago we had a retail guy and former Corsicana resident telling us about some of the sore spots that keep us from moving forward. Some of the entry ways into town have old buildings, old cars, & overgrown weeds. I don't mean to be a critic, but other towns like Ennis and Waxahachie already have in place the tax abatement monies to draw new retail and businesses into their fair cities. If we want to progress, we have to move forwards, not backwards. Only then can we hope to compete with these other towns."

Local News: Mr. John McCormick's Lost Ring Notice
|
|
southerncrossranch writes "I was looking at a notice that was online dated on my birthday December 28' 2007 from Mr. John McCormick asking if anyone knew of a lady who graduated in 1967 from Kerens High School.
I went to the library and looked up the 1967 Seniors and came across Jennifer Clay. She was the only girl in the class with the initials that were inside the ring. The only other name I recognized was Kay Bain's. This is Bobby Bain's cousin. So if they were seniors together, maybe she will know the where abouts of the former Jennifer Clay. It did not have the middle name listed, but inside the ring was the letters JLC, so i assume it is this girl. And if anyone knows the Clay family, please let them know this man has their daughter's ring.
His email is: onejohnmccormick@yahoo.com"

|

grejos writes "The city of Corsicana is currently in negotiation with the proposed Elk Creek Power Plant's owners, LS Power Development-- subsidiary of Dynergy, for one of two gas-fired plants to be built in Richland, TX. The proposed plant will spew toxins into the air that are fully reported, in documents available from the Environmental Protection Agency, to cause aggravation of respiratory and heart ailments, cause the increased decay of buildings, and contribute significantly to acid rain. Sulfur Oxides/acids, Nitric Oxides/acids, and Carbon Monoxides released by the proposed plant will also change the chemical makeup of soil, causing decreased crop yields, and severely impact the health of livestock."

johnmccormick writes "I have a story that begins about 40 years ago. I was in a nightclub and met this really nice girl. We hit it off immediately and we planned to get together in the near future. She gave me her class ring and phone number and told me to call her for a date. I was careless and lost her phone number with her name and could not call her and I had her ring.
I felt devastated as I had lost my ring earlier. I put her ring in my drawer and time passed. A lot of time. I was looking in an old jewelry box and found her ring and called Balfour (The manufacturer of the ring) and they did not have records that went that far back. I am trying my best to return this ring to the nice lady that gave it to me. I am not a stalker and will gladly give it to a third party that I know will make sure that she gets it. Maybe the current principle of Kerens High School where she graduated. The initials inside the ring are JLC and the year she graduated was 1967. I still remember that she reminded me of the actress Jill Claberg from Silver Streak. If any one can get in touch with her and tell her to have the principal e-mail me I will gladly return the ring with my best wishes and apology for taking so long to return it.
My name is John McCormick and my e-mail address is onejohnmccormick@yahoo.com."
